Things That Make You Feel Old

[SlammedZero]

I went to a concert this last weekend. The artist started a slower song and asked everybody to pull out their cellphones and wave them with the flashlights on. Not the first time I've seen this, but for some reason it was the first time that made me feel old as I sat and thought "I remember when that used to be people waving lighters".

When we got out of the concert it was about 11pm. I used to think "Nice!! It's only 11pm!!" Now I think "Dang! It's already 11pm!!"

90s music to teenagers today is the equivalent of what 60s music was to me as a teenager in the 90s.

Whenever I see a real man I feel old because there’s not too many of us left and they’re all old.

Good one, Rocky!

Working with adults who are college graduates who have 21st century dates of birth! The millenium parties seem like only yesterday.

I think of myself as young, but now I’m seeing more and more guys enter the NFL/other sports who are 5+ years younger than me.

I reckon that will get worse.

Just the other day I seen on Facebook a list of popular songs turning 40 in 2024. And I remembered when those songs were being played on the radio when they came out. Some were played at my Senior prom.

That's why they don't bust my chops about it.

So many great albums that I grew up with just recently turned 50.

Amusement parks, we had some family come in a few months ago. They had to go to Universal Studios and Disneyland. We did both in a weekend and my body paid for it. Roller coasters, etc really take a toll on the neck and back these days. Not to mention, my legs were dead weights for a week after

I have been watching old Western TV shows on Starz Encore. When I see Kurt Russell in the shows as a kid, I feel old as heck.

Whenever I see an actor, actress or rock star from my youth and realize how old they are I feel ancient. Angie Dickenson is 92. Clinton Eastwood is 93. Jimi Hendrix would be 82. William Shatner is 93!

Listening to my pre-teen grandkids talk about Xbox games. It might as well be Greek, because I don't understand what the heck their talking about.

Playing softball a couple of years ago when I realized that my mind knew where the ball was going but by the time my body reacted it was too late the ball past me.

That’s a rough one, I had to call it quits at 48
